Just subtracting the IBB his OBP is .457 . Still good, but more human. If it is somehow proven that he has been totally clean, then he is just simply amazing.
How did you calculate that .457?

By my calculation:

(55+(99-54)+2)/(153+(99-54)+2+0)= .510

OBP single season leader board:

1. Barry Bonds .5817 2002 L
2. Ted Williams+ .5528 1941 L
3. John McGraw+ .5475 1899 L
4. Babe Ruth+ .5445 1923 L
5. Babe Ruth+ .5319 1920 L
6. Barry Bonds .5291 2003 L
7. Ted Williams+ .5256 1957 L
8. Billy Hamilton+ .5228 1894 L
9. Babe Ruth+ .5156 1926 L
10. Barry Bonds .5151 2001 L
